What is the average inflation rate?

The US Federal Reserve targets 2% annual inflation. Long-term US average is about 3%. During 2021-2023 it briefly peaked above 8%. Use 3% for conservative long-term planning.

How do I beat inflation?

By investing in assets that grow faster than inflation — historically, stocks (7-10% annual return), real estate, and I-bonds have outpaced inflation. Cash savings accounts often lag inflation.

Why does inflation matter for retirement planning?

At 3% annual inflation, you need $2.43 in 30 years to buy what $1 buys today. If you plan to retire on $4,000/month in today's dollars, you'll actually need about $9,700/month in 30 years. Always use inflation-adjusted ("real") returns when setting retirement savings targets, not nominal returns.
